When we got a shout from Mike, we didn't realise that he was responsible for some of the wake industry's most memorable, rockin' board graphics. Stuff like the '05 and '06 Premier series from Hyperlite, the '09 Mana from Ronix or the really fresh '09 JStar lines along with product promotional material. It's all so varied and rich. Distinctive illustration, strong type and excellent use of colour through all his work really sets his work apart.
Living in Gig Harbour, WA, Mike Anderson has almost 16 years design experience in the action sports industry he's now heading up Blacksmith, a boutique brand design firm. Looking to take on more than product design he works on anything from creating a company trademark to showcasing the final product through point of purchase presentation. His work combines digital assets, illustration and photography to create stunning work. We all think his boards rock more than anything though.
Take a look at more from Mike and Blacksmith here.
He's also got some work up on Coroflot here.
